I really hope I will later look back at this post and laugh, because at the moment I am straight up frustrated with myself. I’ve been occasionally studying 한글 for a few months now and I still don’t have it down to the T. The reason I’m annoyed by this is because 한글 only consists of 24 letters. Thats less than the English alphabet and Japanese writing system, both of which I know pretty well. I am unable to pinpoint where my problem lies. Maybe I am subconsciously not as eager to learn Korean as I was with Japanese? Maybe I’m not watching enough Kdramas or listening to enough Kpop? Maybe I’m simply not putting in the time? Maybe the Korean sounds are tripping me up? What ever it is, I plan on overcoming it. 한글 is just too easy to not learn. For studying purposes, I am going to write my 한글 notes below.
